Safety and usage information
3. The thermal imager must only be used by authorized personnel
familiar with and trained on the uses, proper operation, features and
full functionality of the thermal imager, including training in simulated
fire conditions such as controlled live burn simulations. This includes
understanding thermal images and how they are interpreted.
4. The thermal imager is a complex electro-optical device, and just
like any other machinery, electronic systems are subject to potential
failures. If a failure occurs, the user will no longer have access to the
thermal imagery provided by the thermal imager. Tactical use of this
equipment must not deviate from standard operating procedures used
by personnel who do not have the benefit of the equipment. Failure
to follow your fire department's standard operating procedures in a
hazardous atmosphere could result in disorientation, serious injury or
death should equipment failure occur.
5. Never use the thermal imager as the sole source of navigation.
If system failure occurs, you may become disoriented or lost in a
hazardous environment which could result in serious injury or death.
6. Failure to exit a hazardous environment immediately on
observation of the low battery warning may result in system failure in a
hazardous environment which could result in serious injury or death.
7. Do not disassemble or modify the battery used with this device.
The battery contains safety and protection devices which, if damage
occurs, can cause the battery to become hot or cause an explosion or
ignition.
